With another home run on Saturday, Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez did something that has never been done before in team history.
The Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins on Saturday by a score of 7-2 behind another solid start from All-Star Tarik Skubal. The ace lefty went 7.0 innings, giving up just two runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out eight to move to 12-3 on the year with a 2.35 ERA. After earning an All-Star berth, Skubal is also going to receive serious consideration for the American League Cy Young Award.
In addition to Skubal, the Tigers also got valuable contributions in the win from shortstop Javier Baez. The much-maligned slugger hit a home run for the third consecutive game, making some team history in the process.According to @TigersPR Javier Báez is the first player in Tigers history to homer in 3 straight games while hitting 9th in the batting order. The last MLB player to do so was Danny Jansen from May 6-8, 2021.
